The Most Important Political Numbers You Will Read Today

Real gross domestic product (GDP) rose 0.3% in the third quarter, following a 0.6% gain in the previous quarter.... On a monthly basis, real GDP by industry declined 0.1% in September.And, in short, they stink: under-performing both for the month and the quarter. This is the kind of drip-drip of bad economic news that eventually sinks a government. Eventually being the operative word.

Paul, we're an exporting nation filled with resources that are still in high demand and fetching decent prices on the markets. China and the developing nations are still posting growth rates of 7%, and Europe's status doesn't change that. As Shiner rightly pointed out, we are not Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, or any other nations on the verge of defaulting on their national debt. If you wish to compare us with anyone, the Aussies come to mind quickly as someone in our weight-class. Oh, their GDP in the last reported quarter rose 1.2%. They are also busy negotiating a free trade deal with China.

He misses facts every time;in fact his local riding association won't have anything to do with him..guess why!!!

I think last night's results are very good for the Libs. Fantino should have knocked the Libs right out of the box but instead they created a very credible opponent for the next general election when Fantino will have to run on harper's vapor trail and be a nobody. The WPG North results are very good as the so called tory spoiler was a zero and they finished a distant third.

The Libs are pushing on the NDP as both they and the Greens accomplished absolutely nothing last evening and I think the Libs could possibly now smell two way races in many more ridings which will be of great benefit to them .

"No need to be vulgar Shiner. If your point has merit, it will stand on its own."

Hollow words from a man who has never given any citation or proof. Merit Paul S? You just provide opinion without facts. But keep on being hypocritic about it. You and CS do the objective commenter role to an equal level of insincerity and incompetence.

As big a star candidate as the CPC could pull out of their ass ...and he barely wins. That's hardly a 'heads handed to them' victory when all the pundits predicted Fantino would win in a landslide ...also the outcome I expected.

And nice way to go off-topic again dipshit.

And now to get back on topic and to speak with a person who's not a nitwit...

Paul, just curious where you got the newest Aussie figures showing growth decreasing to 0.2%?

The S&P/TSX composite index added 195.47 points to close at 13,148.35, with all of the main indexes in positive territory. That’s nearly 100 points higher than the previous post-recession high of 13,052.48 on Nov. 8. Prior to that, the TSX had not closed above 13,000 since September 2008.

Our export success is not benefiting from the low dollar during the last economic boom with JC-PM at the helm.

No fetish here Paul S. You just never cite any proof. yes I do have the audacity to ask for links because I dont think you have the cajones to provide them. I will read them objectively unless you are submitting opinion or conjecture as proof.

CS please get some help. It's obvious from your rapid fire issue of self-created statistics and meandering, moderately insane rambles that you arent well. It's the holiday season and you're going to be around others. Please get some help before you go mad and attack your neighbour with the turkey knife thinking its Michael Ignatieff.

Found the CS Loves Iggy thread recently.. Were you really jilted at a high school dance by Iggy? That explains A LOT about your crackpottiness.

Gene, Paul actually got that right. The Aussie growth reports just came out yesterday (after I posted here) and their growth did fall to just 0.2% of GDP in the latest quarter. Needless to say their dollar dropped on the news, they were anticipating the economy slowing but still expecting 0.5% growth.

As for CS - is that true she got jilted by Iggy back in the day? That would explain a lot.
